Defined in the glossary: Ozploitation
A woman alone at an outback wildlife reserve is hunted by three kangaroo poachers. Lean and nasty.
A tense Australian survival thriller in which a woman running an isolated outback wildlife sanctuary is terrorised by three brutal kangaroo hunters who treat her as prey. It is lean, mean and effective, wringing real menace out of the empty landscape and the casual cruelty of its villains.
Its imagery, above all a shot of the heroine strapped to the front of the hunters' truck, is striking, and the film has been cited as an influence on Mad Max: Fury Road. A tough, underseen entry from the tail end of the Ozploitation boom.

The cycle in depth
- Ozploitation: the Australian genre boom, 1971 to 1986
An adults-only certificate, a tax loophole, and a Melbourne doctor who knew what happens to bodies at speed. Australia's fifteen years of cheap, mean, brilliant genre film.
- Wake in Fright is not an exploitation film
It was lost for thirty years, found in a bin marked 'for destruction', and it is the best thing on this site.
Filed alongside
Thirst
A secret society farms humans for blood. Ozploitation does vampires as corporate agribusiness.
Dead End Drive-In
A drive-in turned into an internment camp. The satire is not subtle.
Turkey Shoot
The budget vanished mid-shoot and they kept going. Chaotic, mean, fun.
Stone
Australia's outlaw-biker scripture. Mad Max drank from this tank.
Patrick
A man in a coma does telekinesis. Better than that sentence implies.
Long Weekend
A couple litter, and Australia decides to kill them. Excellent.
Snapshot
A young model is stalked after a nude shoot. A slow-burn Australian thriller with a real sense of dread.
Next of Kin
A slow-burn gothic in a nursing home. Much better than its obscurity suggests.
Razorback
A giant pig film shot like a perfume ad. Somehow works.
The Man from Hong Kong
Jimmy Wang Yu wrecks Sydney, with hang-gliding and a man actually on fire. Peak crossover.
Alvin Purple
The sex comedy that funded the entire boom. Historically important, hard going.
Stunt Rock
No plot. A stuntman and a prog band. Exists purely so Grant Page can work.
